WARNING:
This product is intended for use by dental
professionals only. Before operating handpiece, carefully
read and follow these instructions and save them for future
reference. Observe all cautions and warnings, including:
• Handpieces should be heat-sterilized between patients to
prevent cross-contamination which could result in serious
illness or even death from infectious organisms such as HIV
(the virus that causes AIDS) or hepatitis B.
• It is the responsibility of the Dental Healthcare Professional

understand the health of each patient, the dental procedures
being undertaken, industry and governmental agency
regulations, and recommendations and requirements for safe

within the oral cavity when a soft tissue wound is present. Air
pressure may force septic materials into these tissues.
• Before using, allow handpiece to cool completely after
sterilization.
